Friends, friends, friends

As I expressed in my most recent entry the radiation treatment I receive is causing me to be extremely tired. Surprisingly so to me. Sleep doesn't refresh me. My mind wakes up, but my body still feels like I just finished a couple marathons in a row. I am not complaining. I could be much worse.

Yesterday our ward had a neighborhood picnic. All day I was looking forward to going; being with some of the wonderful people who are our neighbors. I was afraid I couldn't stay long because of the fatigue I was feeling, but we had determined to go at least for a few minutes. I need not have worried. Going there energized me. Granted, I was still tired but I plopped my body in a chair, ate a good meal, and just soaked up the energy and love from the people around me. My body remained energized for the rest of the night. I so much appreciate my friends and neighbors. You are all in my thoughts. All through this trial I have felt the support of family, friends, neighbors, and a multitude of people I don't even know. Christ says when you are serving your fellow men you are serving Him. I testify that Roma and I feel the love of the Savior through the service we have received from our fellow men.
